Woodford Reserve Whiskey

€42.20

A flat-fronted hip flask shaped bottle which is made out of surprisingly thick glass for a bottle often found on the supermarket shelves. I find the name “Distiller’s Select” a bit confusing especially when “store picks” and other terms are bounded around Bourbon but maybe that is just me?

Some well laid out facts on the label, stating batch and bottle number which helps gives a craft presentation feel which matches with the specific abv percentage of 43.2%. Overall a bit basic, but a bit basic done well.

Nose

A reverse mullet with smooth businessly cream at the front with plenty of punchy wood spice in the back. 

There are a fair few classic Bourbon notes flying out from cherries to almonds to toasty oak but nothing truly stand out. Maybe it is my lack of Bourbon comparisons but was expecting a little bit more.

Taste

Middle of the road with a spice truck slip up.
